This is Steve Howe’s famous OO-18
used on many of Yes’ most famous recordings. This guitar had many
extra holes in it from the various pick up systems used over the years
in concert. My task was to eliminate those holes and refinish the body.

These three photos show the steps taken
to fill two holes in the upper bout where there was once a volume and
tone control for an old preamp.

At the tail block there were two holes
where there should only be one.

I had to remove part of the butt wedge,
then fill the hole with a mahogany plug. After replacing the inlaid wedge
the guitar is sanded and ready for finish.

 The top has had a piece spliced in from an earlier restoration.  |
 Here it is nearly finished |
